I have noticed that when watching various BRRips (H264 MP4 files) via my WDTV player, where there are scenes of green / dark grey, the pixelation is really bad, and there are loads of tiny square blocks, and the picture seems to break up slightly.

I have played around with different resolutions in the settings menu, but this doesn't seem to make any difference.

It must be the player though, as if I watch the film through my laptop connected to my 42'' toshiba lcd (just by connecting it with a standard VGA to VGA cable, so therefore not HD), then the picture is fine. It is also fine when just watching directly on the laptop as well - no pixelation problems at all.

Any ideas, as this is really frustrating,and I defintely don't believe it is the quality or encoding of the BRRip.

How big are the blu-ray rips? I have a rip which is ~8 GB and it looks quite nice(read no blocks or anything).

Hi, they are only about 1.5 or 2.2 gb brrip's, but as I stated in my original post, they are PERFECT when played directly on my laptop, or via VGA fed to my 42'' lcd - no pixelation problems there at all - I have compared them in depth.....only pixelating on WD TV player!!!

This is i think the same problem described in the topic: Video Noise. I have this problem also. I played with my tv settings and i is al little bit better, but the noise is still there. I think it is a problem with the player or the processor. Think we have to live with it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

My 15GB+ Avatar has got the same problem. its a 1080p Rip. Playing from Toshiba Laptop over HDMI to LCD.. looks nice... no problem at all... but directly from WD.. lots of pixels.. breaking the pics.. i don't 'no why???

my avatar is 34GB and it looks amazing and plays perfectly.it is a 1080 rip as well

your laptop is using a software player which can easily fill in voids and make corrections on the fly.the wdtv media player is a hardware player and it outputs exactly what it sees, so garbage in = garbage outthey cannot be compared to a computer and software players, they are not even close to being similar.

I'm not saying your copy of avatar is bad, BUT, for a movie with such amazing special effects and the length of it, 15GB sounds to small for a good 1080 rip.there is also a 23GB release of avatar that plays very well, I have it for my gen1 player and it's fine..
